DOOR BOLT AND LOCK.

Specificationof Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 15, 1921.

Application filed November 28, 1919- Serial N0. 341,135.

This invention relates to fasteners for closures, such as doors and windows, and the primary object of the invention is to provide animproved bolt and lock which can be used for either sliding or pivoted closures.

Another object of the invention is to provide an improved fastener for closures,

which can be used as an ordinary door bolt,

or as a lock, in which'instance the bolt is held in operative position agalnst movement from either the inside or outside-ofthe closure.

A further object of the invention is the provision of an improved door bolt, havingv means detachably associated therewith for preventing operation of the bolt, when desired, said bolt being capable of being effectively used on sliding doors with said means.

A still further object of the invention is the provision of an improved door lock in which the bolt housing,-keeper and bolt are made from single pieces of sheet metal'suitably bent and shaped to form a rigid and strongconstruction. 1 p

A still further object of the invention is the provision of an improved fastener for closures in which the bolts, the keeper and the base plate or bolt housing are so constructed that when the bolt is inoperative position the fastening elements for holding the keeper and bolt casing in position on the door and door frame are completely covered and hidden, thereby preventing the removal of the fastening elements and the opening of the closure. v

A still further object of the invention 18 to-provide an improved bolt and lock for closures, which will be durable and efficient 1n use, one which will be simple and easy to manufacture, and one which can be placed upon the market at a reasonable cost.

Other objects of the invention wlll appear in the following detailed description taken in connection with the drawings, in which drawings: V

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the bolt and lock showing the same as used in connection with a hinged door.

Fig. 2 is an elevation of the same showing the bolt removed.

Fig. 3 is a transverse section through the base plate or bolt housing.

Fig. 4: is a perspective view of the improved'bolt or look showing the same used in connection with a slidingclosure, and

Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the improved bolt and lock showing a socket for the bolt formed directly in the door frame,thus admitting the bolt keeper.

Referring to the drawings, in detail, wherein similar reference characters designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, the letter A indicates a door,

and B a door frame, and G the improved fastens'lr having the padlock D associated therewit The improved fastener C includes the baseplate or bolt housing E, the keeper F, and the bolt G;

The base plate or bolt housing E is formed of a single piece of sheet metal and includes the substantially rectangular flat plate 10 having substantially V-shaped guides 12 stamped therefrom at equidistantly spaced points forming a guide way of predetermined length. As shown in the drawings, the guides'12 are three in numher, but it is to be understood that any number of guides can be struck out of the plates 10, provided the same are all in direct alinement with each other. The keeper F is constructed similar to the bolt housing 10 and is likewise formed of a single blank of material, and includes the substantially fiat wear plate 13 having the V-shaped guide 1% struck outwardly from the central portion thereof. The guide 1 1 is substantially V-shaped and is adapted to be arranged in direct alinement with the guides 12. The keeper and base plate or bolt housing are adapted to be held in operativeposition by a suitable fastening element, such as screws 15 and 16, and these screws are arranged within the plane of the guides 12 and 1A and are adapted to be completely covered and engaged by the bolt G when the same is in an operative position.

The bolt G includes a substantially rectangular elongated body 17 formed from a single blank of material, bent on a central longitudinal line defining angular related flanges 18, which forms a bolt substantially t -shaped in cross section. The bolt is of sufficient size, so as to slide freely in the V tance between the head of the bolt and the I ays is substantially thelength of the guide way formedby guides 12. V l r 'As clearly shown in Fig. 1 of the draw-j:

guides 12 and 14, but to prevent any lateral movement therein. One terminal of the bolt is provided with integral rlght angularly extending tongues 19 which form finger pieces or head whereby the bolt may be readily operated by the user and for forming means for limiting the inward movement of the bolt in-the bolthousing E and keeper F The bolt is provided adjacent tothe end thereof oppositeto the fin- *ger pieces 19 with openings or ways 20 which extend through the flanges 18 and form means for receiving the shackle 21 of the padlock D, which is adapted to be detachably associated with thebolt. Thed1s ings, whenotlie device is used in connection with a pivoted doorclosure, the bolt is nserted in the bolt casing through the outer end thereof and into the keeper F, and-when it is desired toholdthe bolt in its operative position againstmovement, the shackle 21 of the padlock-is placed in the openings 20 which are'positioned in'this instance adjavent to the inner guide 12 of the bolt casin, relation to each other;

When the door swings in an inward direction, the bolt housing is held by the door frame, and the inner end of the bolt is adapted toengage the door which prevents inward opening", movement thereof.

From the foregoing description it can be seen that an improved bolt and lock is .provided', which is of exceptionally durable and eflicient construction, and which will etfectively hold various types of closures in 7 their ment. 7
